Adia Millett - Palace (Photo collage on wood panel, 18" x 18", 2017)
Weaving threads of African American experiences with broader ideas of identity, and collective history, my work investigates the fragile interconnectivity among all living things. Fragmented, constructed, and reassembled, I shed light on the multifaceted parallels between the creative process and the nature of personal identity. My paintings and collage feature abstracted, geometric shapes that imply movement – colorful forms expand and collapse freely among glittery backgrounds with hints of landscape and structural objects such as rooftops, windows and doors. The art reminds us of renewal, not only through the artistic process, but also through the possibility of transformative change.
